2004 IDFTA German-Italy Photo Album

The 2004 International Dwarf Fruit Tree Association Annual Conference was held March 1-4, 2004 in Bolzano, Italy. I first visited the South Tyrol in 2001 on an IDFTA Study Tour. I was so impressed I had to go back.

Before the Conference in Italy I also attended the 'Fruchtwelt Bodensee,' i.e. Lake Constance Fruit World. During the Fruit World there was also an International Workshop 'Success through innovation in fruit farming' sponsored by Webfruit GmbH in collaboration with IDFTA.
